Observation of unexpected density effects in muon-catalyzed d-t fusion.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Ne~ experimental results on muon-catalyzed d-t fusion are reported. Unexpected target-density effects have been discovered both in dt p, molecular formation in t p, + 02 collisions and in the effective sticking probability. The dt p. formation rate is significantly enhanced at high density, presumably because of a strong three-body contribution. The origin of the observed reduction of the sticking probability at high density remains unclear. Both effects increase the number of fusions per muon that can be achieved; 150+4(stat. ) + 20(syst. ) fusions per muon have been observed.

In this paper the cycle of muon catalyzed fusion processes has been simulated using Monte-Carlo methods. This simulation starts when muon enters the D/T mixture and follows the actual trajectories of the muonic atoms among the proceeding collisions, by using their cross sections. For this purpose a computer code has been written by Fortran language. The time dependence of the processes is take...

In the present work, the fundamental behavior of four body molecule formations of pt μμ , pd μμ , dt μμ , tt μμ , and pp μμ in a D/T fusion are considered. Their higher fusion rate, specially the available data for dt μμ , encouraged us to study the muon cycling rate in D/T fusion in the temperature range of (100-1400 K), density and deuterium-tritium concentration ratio. For this purpose, va...

Recently a new process has been suggested by Froelich and Wallenius in μ CF. They predicted a high rate of formation of an excited meta-stable in the collision of excited tμ(2s) with D2, which will then decay into dμ (1s). It produces the reversing transfer channel. In this paper, we establish a new approach in study of determination of q1sand p1sparameters, where p1s is the fractional pop...
